Xion’s primary purpose in life is to wholeheartedly serve her biological father, Zayne, and the entire Banks Family. This conviction has transformed into an unshakeable belief over the years. Since childhood, Xion has been subjected to her mother’s brainwashing, and for a staggering 21 years, it has shaped her worldview.


    For Xion, anything that benefits the Banks Family is worth any sacrifice, even if it turns her into an adversary to the rest of the world. Should anyone threaten the Banks Family, it would ignite her fierce anger! This unwavering loyalty is the driving force behind her determination to obliterate the entire Matsumoto family.


    Her conflict with Charlie is not merely personal; it is deeply rooted in family grievances as well. Charlie’s actions led to a significant setback for the Banks Family, as he orchestrated an attack that left over fifty of their elite members severely weakened.


    Thus, Xion seeks not just personal revenge but also to avenge the Banks Family! At this moment, the two ships are less than two hundred meters apart. Without needing a telescope, Xion can clearly make out Charlie’s features and the peculiar smile he wears.


    This smile triggers a sense of déjà vu within her!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It reminds her of the time when she and other members of the Banks Family were taken by the Japanese Self-Defense Force at Osaka Airport. Charlie had stood in the cockpit of a private jet, looking at her with that same smile!


    In that instant, Xion realizes that Charlie has been watching her all along—from the very beginning to this moment.


    She is taken aback, wondering if he can sense her gaze! How could he possibly notice her from thousands of meters away in the vastness of the sea at night?


    Unbeknownst to her, Charlie not only recognizes her presence but has also figured out her identity! Just as Xion is grappling with this revtion, the distance between their ships dwindles rapidly—one hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters!


    Xion’s eyes ze with determination as she yells at the captain, “Keep elerating! We need to ram them!”


    The captain shouts back, “Miss Banks, we’ve pushed the engine to its maximum!”


    Xion insists, “We have twenty meters left! Prepare to charge!”<fncfc2> Content originallyes from f?ndnovel</fncfc2>


    Xion is momentarily stunned, eximing, “How can he hear me?!”


    At that moment, she is in the cockpit. Given the wind and waves outside, it’s nearly impossible to hear anything from inside, especially with a twenty-meter gap between them.


    The captain, equally bewildered, adds, “Miss Banks, with all this noise and distance, how can we hear his voice so clearly?!”


    Xion is increasingly astonished by this! She thinks to herself, “Yes! It’s as if he spoke directly into my ear—how is he doing this?!”


    Seeing Xion’s silence, the captain nervously asks, “Miss Banks, what should we do now?!”


    Xion is at a loss, with the distance between the two ships shrinking to just about ten meters.


    Charlie continues smiling, “I suggest you reconsider. If our ships collide and we are stranded on the open sea, won’t you have to call the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force for help?”


    He then adds, “But I’m not worried about that—what about you? There’s a serious prisoner on your ship who is on the run. If she’s caught by the Japanese Self-Defense Force, she might be shot on sight!”</pas>
